A virus is a non-cellular life form that consists of a long chain of nucleic acids and a protein shell. Viruses have no metabolic machinery of their own and no enzyme system. Viral replication, transcription and translocation take place in living host cells. Therefore, viruses can be obtained by culturing infected host cells (eukaryotic or prokaryotic) and then separating the virus particles from the host cells by centrifugation or filtration of the cell suspension. Virus isolation is a very special method for diagnosing virus infection, which is of great significance for epidemic prevention and control, screening of antiviral drugs, and vaccine development.
Viruses exist anywhere there is life and can infect a wide variety of animals such as dogs, cats, cattle, horses, and birds and cause a range of infectious diseases. The widespread spread of animal infectious diseases has caused enormous economic losses. Virus isolation is the most reliable evidence for diagnosing viral infections in animals, including emerging, re-emerging and novel viral pathogens. The time to isolation varies from virus to virus, which is highly dependent on the growth/replication rate of the virus and the method used to identify it.
